Generate maps within maps of a specific location
ResourceFunction["GeoInsetMap"][entity] create an inset map of the specified entity using its diameter as the range. | |
ResourceFunction["GeoInsetMap"][{loc, range}] create an inset map centered at loc covering the specified range. |
"BoundaryStyle" | White | style to use for the boundary |
"CalloutLinesStyle" | Directive[Dashed,GrayLevel[.75]] | style to use for callout lines |
"GeoElements" | {} | additional geo elements to include |
"InsetZoom" | False | whether to zoom the inset |
Create an inset map of Manicouagan crater:
In[1]:= | ![]() |
Out[1]= | ![]() |
Create an inset map of Mount Everest with a range of 20km:
In[2]:= | ![]() |
Out[2]= | ![]() |
Create an inset map of the Richat Structure in Mauritania:
In[3]:= | ![]() |
Out[3]= | ![]() |
Create an inset map of Copernicus crater on the Moon:
In[4]:= | ![]() |
Out[4]= | ![]() |
Change the style of the callout lines:
In[5]:= | ![]() |
Out[5]= | ![]() |
Change the style of the boundary:
In[6]:= | ![]() |
Out[6]= | ![]() |
Use "GeoElements" to draw a red circle highlighting the diameter of a crater:
In[7]:= | ![]() |
In[8]:= | ![]() |
Out[8]= | ![]() |
Zoom into the inset map:
In[9]:= | ![]() |
Out[9]= | ![]() |
Middlesboro crater is found just northwest of the Cumberland Gap:
In[10]:= | ![]() |
Out[10]= | ![]() |
Chicxulub Crater is famous for being the smoking gun for the asteroid impact that helped kill off the dinosaurs:
In[11]:= | ![]() |
The default relief map doesn't have enough vertical exaggeration to show any surface evidence of this buried crater and doesn't show sea level.
Define a custom color function that draws a clear boundary between sea level and land:
In[12]:= | ![]() |
In[13]:= | ![]() |
In[14]:= | ![]() |
In[15]:= | ![]() |
In[16]:= | ![]() |
Adjust box ratios to provide more vertical exaggeration and the range extended:
In[17]:= | ![]() |
Out[17]= | ![]() |
Subtle curved relief features can now be made out in the lower-right quarter of the white box that show the boundary between crystalline rocks in the crater center and the younger and softer limestone outside of the curved features.
